DR. RUBBERFUNK
DJing since 1992 and playing drums since 1987. Started making beats and pieces with an Akai sampler and an Apple Mac in 1997. The first Dr Rubberfunk release was 'Harry The Guitar' in 2001, followed by 'The First Cut', debut album in 2003. The response to the first album has been great, and in their infinite wisdom the record label asked me to do another one; entitled 'My Life At 33' it was released in October 2006, and seems to have gone down quite well so far too. Check the 'My Life At 33' Remixes EP too for some excellent and varied reworks.
Signed to Jalapeno Records for his third album, and released an EP of new material in early 2008, with the 'Hot Stone' album due in early 2010. Vocal contributions on Hot Stone come from Roachford, Sitzka & John Turrell amongst others, with instrumentalists including Todd Simon (The Lions / Breakestra) and Ben Castle alongside long-time members of Team Rubberfunk!

The group consisted of Audrey Wheeler, Phil Hamilton, Tony Cintron, Sandy Anderson, Stephanie James and Lenny Underwood. Raymond Reid and William Anderson from New York-based band Crown Heights Affair instigated Unlimited Touch in the early '80s, but they were not part of the band. The group was signed to Prelude Records (via Epic Records in the U.K.).

Dam Funk "Funk's Revenge" Mix CD and T-shirt
Coming straight from Los Angeles, Dam Funk is known as the "Boogie Funk Ambassador", an artist who has been working since the mid 80's as a mult-instrumentalist, DJ, record collector, producer and vocalist; this guy is a renaissance man of all things funk. In the last couple years he has been gg an avalanche of press over his modern funk productions with a sound that brims with vintage synthesizers, stuttering handclaps, and low slung grooves that conjures late night drives through the Los Angeles metropolis. Working in the tradition of Slave, early Prince, Preettinlude Records and ZAPP, here is a sound that is spiritual and robotic, iconoclastic yet still rooted in the tradition of his elders.
It is a great honor we present to you the Dam-Funk "Funk's Revenge" Mix CD and T-shirt. This special collaboration includes a mix cd by Dam Funk himself and t-shirt design ispired by one of Dam Funk's favorite album covers

PARK LIFE - ART SHOW = SF
Bro Palace is the title of our upcoming art show featuring the work of Skinner, Porous Walker, Jay Howell, Deth P Sun and Ferris Plock. Although their work is mostly rooted in illustration, each artist has a very distinct and instantly recognizable style. From psychedelic mash-ups to ink drawings to sculpture this show promises to tickle the artistic fancy of a wide viewing audience. To further add a touch of mayhem, the SF based band Thee Oh Sees will be playing a special set during the night of the reception. This show is not to be missed, bro.

Porous Walker has been officially selected by himself to waste hours
of your time with his crap.

ROBERT-MARS
Robert Mars is design director for Zoo York by day; fine artist by night. For a man so integral in the aesthetic of this urban design institution, the subject matter and style of his personal work are a surprising departure from the established look of Zoo York.
While Zoo York is unapologetically urban and aptly captures gritty skateboarding culture, Mars’ own painting and mixed media work samples from a larger pool of American culture, something he dubs as “a chronicle of Americana” that exploits a shared nostalgia for the past and has the vintage quality of 1950s and 60s American design and advertising art.

BUG
THANKS TO GAVIN OVER AT "I JUST LIKE MUSIC RECORDS" FOR HOOKING THIS UP
24 year-old Londoner, BUG, is a keyboard player, songwriter and producer. Under the moniker, BUG, he creates an experimental, instrumentally grounded style of music with a compositional approach. The BUG sound encompasses the finer elements of hip-hop and neo-soul, yet the real beauty is in the delivery. Think the smooth richness of the Dam-Funk vibe, the solid construction of a Dilla beat, the electronic wizardry of Flying Lotus and the soulful melodies of Lonnie Liston Smith's jazz.

MR. CHOP - I LOVE IT WHEN I GET FREE MUSIC
THANKS DJ F AT BREAKSHOP
Mr. Chop – the multi-talented producer, engineer, guitar-reared multi-instrumentalist behind a host of releases on Now-Again and Jazzman Records – couldn’t have foretold that the legendary rapper MF DOOM would call him “the illest to grace the boards” after tapping into his otherworldly skills as co-producer/co-writer on a series of tracks on the recently released Born Like This album on Lex Records. Nor could we have foretold that DOOM’s praise would lead to an offer to rework psych funk, jazz and rock covers of producer Pete Rock’s greatest beats.
Nor could he have called that Pete Rock’s long time collaborator – upon hearing the versions of “T.R.O.Y.” and “Straighten It Out” would beg to record an album with him.
But here it is, standing proudly behind 17 tracks that he recorded at his Cheshire, England-based Ape Studios. This is a unique take and has lead to an album that “the heads” will recognize by, say, the Tom Scott sax-line Pete Rock poached for “T.R.O.Y.,” that Chop has deconstructed into its component parts and reassembled again. But this is an album that will appeal to music lovers, regardless of their musical leaning, as a master-class in fuzzy, funky grooves.
TROY IS GOOD BUT I LIKE THIS ONE
MR CHOP - THE WORLD IS YOUR
